Is there a fax capability on OS 10.4.8?

Hi,
Is there a fax capability on OS 10.4.8, and if so where do I locate it? I looked all over the place.
Thanks, Rafael

Yes.
Go to System Preferences > Network.
At Show:, select Network Port Configurations.
Make sure the Internal Modem port configuration is selected.
Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax.
Under the Faxing tab, if you want to receive faxes select Receive faxes on this computer and choose your preferred settings for receiving.
You can also select Show fax status in menu bar.
Copied from Mac Help on my Mac with a search with Fax:
Choose File > Print, and then choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
Type the fax number in the To field, or click the Address Book button to the right of the To field to select a number.
If your phone system requires you to dial a prefix for an outside line, type it in the the Dialing Prefix field.
Make sure the correct modem is selected from the Modem pop-up menu.
To change your options, choose the option category from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu. For example, to fax more than one copy of the document, choose Copies & Pages, and change the value in the Copies field.
Click Fax.
The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. For example, if you're using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.
If you want to paste a number into the To field and the Edit > Paste command is not available, Control-click the and choose Paste from the menu that appears.
To send a cover page with your fax, click the Use Cover Page checkbox, and then type a subject and message in the text boxes.
To choose your modem's behavior when faxing, choose Modem from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu. You can choose whether to dial with touch tones or pulse tones, whether to listen to the modem as it dials, and whether to wait for a steady dial tone before dialing.
To send your fax at a later time, choose Scheduler from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu and enter the time. Make sure your computer is on, is not in sleep mode, and is connected to your phone line at that time.
If you have a set of options that you frequently use, save it as a "preset." After you set your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu. To use this set of options when faxing another document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.

Is there a fax application in os 10.6

I thought at one time I had discovered a fax application within my Mac system. Is there fax capability with OS 10.6, or was that something I had with earlier OS versions, on older computers?

you don't need that now, much less a fax machine. You can send faxes via the Internet
Network 23's advice is correct. Mac OS X includes basic faxing capability, so no third-party software is needed for that. However, advanced faxing does require third-party software, such as PageSender (compatible with SL but not Lion), or 4-Sight Fax.
What current and recent Macs no longer include are built-in fax modems, ie, the hardware required to send a fax. A third-party fax machine or fax modem is needed.
A paid Internet faxing service such as eFax may be used instead. However, you must check carefully not only the price, but also the limitations. Most people who live or do business only in the US seem to have no idea that such services do not work in all countries, or indeed all cities.
As to free Internet faxing, in most cases it's worth less than the asking price. Some work only in US (and sometimes Canada), some don't seem to work at all, and all have some kind of limitation. If you send a fax once in a blue moon, maybe it's worth trying a few; otherwise, my advice is to look elsewhere.

Fax capability no longer works

When I bought this iMac G5 it had OS 10.3.9. The ability to send and receive faxes in the computer worked fine.
Then I upgraded the system to OS10.6.8. Ever since the upgrade the fax capability does not work. When I attempt to send a fax it never initiates the phone call. I have checked the settings in System Preferences and it shows the internal modem as "idle" but has a green dot, indicating the modem is being recognized. And yes, I have verified that the computer is connected to a working phone line. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Info from system profiler about the modem is:
Modem Model: Jump
Interface Type: I2S
Modulation: V.92
Hardware Version: Version 1.0
Driver: MotorolaSM56K.kext (v1.3.9)
Country: United States, Latin America

I was experiencing a similar problem, although in my case the modem appears to send but will not answer calls. I have the internal Apple Modem (shows as MicroDash in system profiler IIRC and the driver was internalUSBModem.kext)
I happened to have 10.4 on another drive, the fax did answer calls when booted when I booted from that. I completely erased and reinstalled 10.5.0 on the main drive and when booted from that drive the fax recognized incoming calls and answered. However, after allowing System Update to install 10.5.8 (and a number of other things) the fax seemed to stop answering.
I had a Time Machine backup from 10.5.5 and restored that. No answer, which was strange because I was sure there were faxes in the received folder from after when 10.5.5 would have been installed. So I reinstalled 10.5.0 this time keeping the user files etc, ie not erasing the drive. The fax answered.
I did a manual update to 10.5.4. At first I thought it didn't answer, but perhaps I was impatient. I changed the Answer after rings field and retried and it answered.
I did a manual update to 10.5.5 and again to 10.5.6, and the fax answered these time as well. (I also ran the System Update to install the current versions of Quicktime, iLife support and iTunes, skipping the 10.5.8 update and anything else other than the three I mentioned and the fax still worked)
I suspect there was a permission problem, file deleted kind of problem with my 10.5.5 backup. I didn't have the time to do the manual updated to 10.5.7 and then 10.5.8 to confirm my first finding (perhaps I was just impatient or the system reset the answer rings etc)
(BTW I assume you meant 10.5.8 not 10.6.8)
I would suggest reinstalling 10.5.0 (choosing the keep user files option) and see if that cures your problem. If it does, you can follow the same path of manual updates I did to see how far you can get.
Other places to look are the console logs. You might see some error messages here which give a clue as to what's going wrong.

HTMLDB / oracle fax capability

Does anyone know if HTMLDB ( or the oracle db 10g ) has any built into fax capability ? ex: the user presses button and a blob or text can be sent to a fax number -
any help is appreciated !
Thanks

You have email capability built in to HTMLDB. If you have an email interface to your fax server then use that.

Thanks for your detailled description of the faxmodem installation!
I've tried this with Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion and it works fine.
I've to type "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" in terminal to see the interface.
Does anybody know, if send faxes are saved somewhere?

I want to uninstall my fax capability - and ONLY be able to scan, print.

Recently I found I was not able to print, so I want to: make sure I have ink in my cartridges; uninstall my fax function so that I am only able to scan and print.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system?
In general you would go to the Printers folder (in Windows 7 go to Start, Devices and Printer), then right click on the FAX instance and select Remove Device. You will also want to make sure the printer device is your default, right click on it and select "Set as Default Printer".
As for not being able to print, running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

Is there any editing capability in photo for the iPad?

Is there any way to use just the iPad and Photos to edit or create a new album, or select photos from the entire library to make a smaller slide show?

No. You need a third party app. PhotoPad by ZAGG is a free photo editor and it really has nice features for a freebie. There are apps for sorting into folders as well PhotoSort for iPad is one but I cannot testify to it's usefulness and it's features since I do not have it.
When iOS 5 arrives in the fall, photo editing and album creation is supposed to be an new included feature.

Fax capability and FileMaker compatibility in Lion

I am currently running the latest version of Snow Leopard and would like to move to Lion. I still receive a number of faxes each year and I am using FileMaker 10 Advanced. I have heard that Lion may not support faxing even though I have a USB fax modem. The FileMaker sire is very quiet on whether or not FileMaker 10 will run under 10.7. Apparently FileMaker 11 is supported under 10.7. Does anyone have answers to either of these questions?

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow when Lion is released. Those that do know are still under non-disclosure and cannot discuss it. You shouldn't have to wait long though, Apple announced today that Lion will be released tomorrow.

I recently installed Maverick as my OS. My external Apple Fax modem no longer works. I receive the message that the fax is offline. I repaired permissions, but still I have lost my fax capability. What needs to be done?

I recently updated to Maverick. My external Apple Fax Modem no longer works. I receive a message that it is not connected. What needs to be done. I have repaired permissions, and found no error.

Chances are it is a software-based modem. Update the drivers of the device to Mavericks-compatible driver from the vendor.

Is there a "whitelist" capability on the 3G?

Until I know that I can program my phone to not ring at certain times, except for a few select numbers, I'll just wait until MyProfiles gets the unlock for 3.0 and then seriously consider the iPhone 3Gs. From what I read, MyProfiles lets you control these things in a lot of ways, such as whitelists and blacklists. I work night shift and my landline service has a service called "Quiet Time." I activate it, set up a schedule and program 5 numbers that will ring during those times. Right now that's the only thing keeping me from getting a cell phone because I'd have to get rid of my landline because of the expense.

It is easier than that. Just add your contact to your Favorites list (select contact and click on Add to Favorites). All you need to do it touch the name and the call is placed. : )

Replacing a Canon printer

My stepfather's Canon Pixma MP240 printer got to the point where repairing it costs about as much as replacing it. Since Staples is having a sale on Canon printers this week and their sale paper has a coupon for $10.00 off Canon printers, he's thinking of replacing it with another Canon printer. The printer doesn't have to be photo quality as we don't print a lot of photos. However, we do print a lot of text documents. One thing that a previous Lexmark printer had that the Canon printer didn't that I missed was the ability to darken the print quality. All Canon had was the ability to change the quality of the original image but not the final print. We do copy a lot of documents so scanning and copying capability would be needed. We have a router so I don't know if that would include faxing capability. If there is faxing capability, it would have to be through the device itself rather than through the computer. However, faxing capability is not a necessity. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My stepfather still wants to be able to print in color so monochrome was out of the question. But he did get a Brother printer. It's a Brother MFC-430W inkjet printer. It has fax and WiFi capabilities. One thing I found out was the more features a device has, the longer the setup takes as each feature has to be setup separately. The most difficult features to set up were the fax and WiFi capabalities. The manual made a distinction between external and extension land line telephones in the instructions but it wasn't quite clear what that distinction was. I eventually figured out to plug the desktop house phone into the device since that was telephone closest to the device. Also, trying to figure out what information about the router to input to setup the WiFi capability took several tries before I figured out the correct information to input. Now that it's set up, it seems to be working okay.

Is there Wireless Capability built into the eMac?

Can someone tell me if there is Wireless Capability built into the eMac? I would like to use it wireless from my Linksys router. If it is built in, where would I look to set it up? Thank you.

You have the eMac from 2002, right? You will need a "classic" AirPort card that looks like THIS:
http://afterthemac.com/wireless/airport_card.jpg
The eMacs made between 2003-2006 use the faster AirPort Extreme card. I had an eMac that recently bit the dust, but I salvaged the AirPort Extreme card that I got with it (ordered a 1.42 GHz eMac to replace it, so this AirPort Extreme card should come in handy).

Sending Multiple Page Faxes

I am VERY annoyed with my IMAC G5. This was supposed to be the more User Friendly machine and I am finding it INFINITELY more difficult to use than the PC....
FAXING happens to be one of the MOST IMPORTANT functions for business use of Computers. With a PC there is a SEPARATE FAX program and all you have to do is put your Hard Copy on a Scanner or Printer/Scanner, Send it to the Fax Modem, insert your Cover Page and Phone Numer it's being Sent to...
And that's IT. Takes NO TIME at all to do.
The Mac on the other hand does NOT have a separate Fax Program and this requires you to Fax from your Printer/Scanner to another Application such as Preview. While I can send a Single Hard Copy Fax in that way, I do not seem to be able to Fax Multiple Pages. My Printer does indeed allow me to Scan the Multiple Pages which it specifically refers to as Pages (of the same Doc) BUT while Preview does receive the Scans (as JPEGS) and inserts them all in the Drawer next to whichever Page is Highlighted, so far I have not found a way to get Preview to recognize them as Pages of the SAME Fax, thus requiring that I Send numerous Faxes (that's numerous Phone Calls)
This is ABSURD. The Third Worlder on Apple Support just informed me that he can't find any Info on Sending Multiple Page Faxes via the MAC...
I CAN'T BELIEVE that could be so because if it is, MAC is being run by a bunch of IDIOTS if they don't know how important this function is.
PLEASE, if there's anyone out there who has the answer, Let Me Know, I'm about to throw this here so called 'state of the Art' IMAC G5 into the TRASH and bring back my trusty high powered Dell Desktop.

Thanks for the efforts to be of help.
I'm using a simply Lexmark 1100 All In One Printer/Scanner and that machine
DOES indeed allow one to Scan 'additional' Pages to FAX. The problem as I
understand it is that Mac does NOT provide a FAX 'Program' as such but simply FAX capability via the built in Modem.
What this means is that you cannot Send the Scan to FAX specifically but must instead Send to another Mac Application, namely Preview, that appllication not having the capability of dealing with Multiple Page Faxes obviously.
You can also Fax from the Mac Apple Works Word Processor but that works for Documents created (or I presume 'copied' or 'pasted') in such Document form.
There may be a 'method' there whereby after scanning the pages you could then get them into Apple Works docs BUT this is a lot of fuss and bother just to do what should be and IS the EASIEST thing to do in Windows PCs that do
have actual FAX programs.
My guess is that there must be a Program that can be added to one's IMac to enable such Multi Page FAXING, either an Apple or Third Party Fax program. If anyone has more info on that it's appreciated. This is complicated by the fact that the use of FAX seems to have become somewhat outmoded by EMail BUT there are a lot of Businesses still using FAX and so you there's a need to continue to have that communication process available.
I now have ANOTHER question to add to this which I'll also post as a separate topic altogether even though it is tangential:
I have converted to a One Line does All set up from Manhattan Cable that provides in addition to the TV service, High Speed Road Runner Net, AND a
Digital Phone which rate is supposedly much better than the competitors.
The Road Runner is INCREDIBLE, BLAZING Speed, how bout a 56MB File in less than 2 minutes. In addition, this set up has allowed me to eliminate a Second Phone Line dedicated to the Computer and FAX, which saves me bucks.
The PROBLEM is that my Answering Machine is defeated when I have the Mac set to Receive Faxes. For sure I can deal with this by informing Clients that they can only Fax the Specs for jobs and the like when I'm at my Desk and can activate the Receive BUT I would prefer to have it the old way where they could FAX me AT ANY TIME whether I was at my desk or not and it would go through and otherwise if it was Voice, the Answering Machine would pick up.
I'm told by the company that they do not have a cure for this problem as yet because both the Answering Machine and Fax are on the same Line and the
Mac accords priority to the Fax when in Receive Fax mode. SO what I have to do is leave the Receive Fax OFF when I leave my office so the Answering Machine can take the messages.
Two 'possible' solutions have been suggeste, One is that I might be able to get an Answering Machine that has some sophisticated 'switching' system that could determine where the call should go. A Second idea is that I might be able to get a 'Switching Device' that can be introduced in the Line.
But again, it seems to me that at this late date for the Technology, there must be some 'intelligence' available to install in the Mac itself that could instantly determine if the incoming call is Fax or Voice and send it appropriately on its way...
GOT to be some relatively simple Program or Technology to deal with this I would assume...
SR
(The latter is not an insurmountable problem needless to say, I CAN simply ask my clients to call ahead and make sure I'm here before they Fax me. But it would be much nicer if it could be hooked up the other way... )
